Geometry

Inequality of the means ★★★

Author(s):

Question   Is is possible to pack $ n^n $ rectangular $ n $-dimensional boxes each of which has side lengths $ a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n $ inside an $ n $-dimensional cube with side length $ a_1 + a_2 + \ldots a_n $?

Ding's tau_r vs. tau conjecture ★★★

Author(s): Ding

Conjecture   Let $ r \ge 2 $ be an integer and let $ H $ be a minor minimal clutter with $ \frac{1}{r}\tau_r(H) < \tau(H) $. Then either $ H $ has a $ J_k $ minor for some $ k \ge 2 $ or $ H $ has Lehman's property.

Ryser's conjecture ★★★

Author(s): Ryser

Conjecture   Let $ H $ be an $ r $-uniform $ r $-partite hypergraph. If $ \nu $ is the maximum number of pairwise disjoint edges in $ H $, and $ \tau $ is the size of the smallest set of vertices which meets every edge, then $ \tau \le (r-1) \nu $.

Packing T-joins ★★

Author(s): DeVos

Conjecture   There exists a fixed constant $ c $ (probably $ c=1 $ suffices) so that every graft with minimum $ T $-cut size at least $ k $ contains a $ T $-join packing of size at least $ (2/3)k-c $.

Keywords: packing; T-join
